God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered, Come to me. With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away and though we love you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, a precious soul at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. A loving husband, father and grandfather who will be greatly missed by all who knew him, he went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 4, 2010. He was 83, a native of Senatobia, Miss., and lived as a youth in Hammond. He served during World War II aboard a Navy attack transport in the Philippine islands and Okinawa areas of the Pacific Theater. When the war ended, he returned to college at Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, where he earned his masters degree in education. He then taught chemistry for several years in Tokyo, Mandeville, and finally retired after teaching at Broadmoor High, Baton Rouge. He also worked as a plant chemist at Dow Chemical in Louisiana, B.F. Goodrich in Kentucky and Olin Mathieson in Indiana.
